Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak has ratcheted up the rhetoric and isn't backing away from accusations that not only did Premier Kathleen Wynne know about the alleged unlawful deletion of documents related to the gas plant scandal, but that she signed off on the files.

"It defies credibily that she could have been leader of the Liberal Party and Premier and said that she had no idea what was going on," he says.

"Now she wants to spend taxpayer money coming after me and my team in team with a law suit instead of concentrating on creating jobs in the province."

Wynne has indicated in an open letter that she has obtained legal advice on what she calls false, misleading, and defamatory allegations by Tim Hudak.

be careful Tim! Doubling Down could come back to bite you in the azz. You thought you could just open your mouth and say whatever you want without any proof now you might look like Ford did when he had to do the 2 step backwards dance. live on air!!

I watch Question Period almost every day....I hung on every word during the Committee meetings looking into the gas plant scandals. Miller was actually called a liar during one of the meetings. You would have to be either brain dead or from another galaxy to not believe something sinister was going on. What is even more upsetting to me is that CP24 and City were not running the story until at least an hour after The Star and the Ottawa Citizen were making it public. As a matter of fact, the story did not start being reported until after I e-mailed them asking why they weren't running it. I hope to God there is no collusion of cover up by the media. I truly believe Wynne was completely caught off guard that the consensus media started running the story before she had time to prepare a slick press conference. This morning before Hudak came out to double down on his contentions about Wynne, one of the pundit on 1010 was speculating he might be coming out to apologize for simply telling the truth. I am starting to have deep suspicions that media outlets are either being asked to delay or have become so used to delaying the reporting of news stories until it becomes convenient for the Liberal government.

@Adriane Taylor
You were likely referring to Wynne, not Miller. I agree completely with your suggestion of media bias and don't believe they need to be asked. Anytime conservatives step out of line the media are on them like a dog on a bone. Listening to the media on the senate scandal one was left with the impression it was a conservative issue despite the fact several Liberal senators were also involved. Hounding of Ford is another example. If we assume he deserved all the attention, including going on his property, then the same guidelines should apply to the Ontario Liberals, starting with the lies, Caledonia, gas plants, etc.

Is the media hounding McGuinty on a daily basis here, in Ottawa and at Cambridge? Of course not; he's a Liberal.

@John
No... actually I'm retired....who watches question period?...anyone who has come to realize that if you are relying on cable news to keep you up to date with what is going on you risk being kept in the dark and being fed horse manure....Wynne didn't show up for Question Period...News 1010 is reporting she's up in Sault Ste. Marie answering questions on this issue...of course she is......CP 24 and City took over an hour to report the story once it was reported in The Star and the Ottawa Citizen...have a nice day my fellow mushrooms..

@Frankie
No I actually did mean Miller...she's Faist's girlfriend...the guy they brought in to wipe the computers clean, oh sorry "allegedly"...she worked for McGuilty (and I think I heard she's still kicking around in the Premier's office)....if you can get a chance to look through the Hansard archives (I know Fidelli used to have copies on his website) the committee meetings made for very interesting viewing.

@John
Try to resist the persistant voices in the back of your head compelling you to put on your mothers pantyhose and her press-on fingernails whenever you walk by her dresser drawer. That stuff's not good for you :(

I want this station to post a podcast of that news conference with Tim Hudak including the questions from the media gallery.

Here's why:

We have endured years of wasted tax money driving business away from this province for far too long. We have a story today regarding the possibility of actually calling high ranking Liberals including our unelected Premier and a criminal investigation. Finally do we have a chance to call the Liberals to the carpet?And whats the first question I hear out of the media gallery this morning?Something about Hudak's popularity. THAT'S THE IMPORTANT ISSUE?I want to listen to the entire news conference so I can find out who asked this question, and what else was asked and by whom.That way maybe we can finally navigate this tiresome left wing media bias we need to sift through daily in Ontario.

I have been listening to this station for a long time., I never yelled back at the radio until this morning when the this question was asked to Tim Hudak this morning, just before CFRB cut away from the live feed.

This puts me over the top. I'm so angry.I know the NDP walked out this morning, but Andrea Horwath needs to bring this government down once and for all. Let the people speak, before our economy is past the point of no return (may be too late already).

@Dave Windross
The Liberals know exactly how to control the message...after 10 years of pretty much unlimited power, they have inundated every agency with Liberal pundits (including the OPP)...are you the least bit surprised that CP 24, City News and even the CBC delayed the story for as long as they could...it was the print media that went to Court to get the documents about the investigation of David Livingston...my opinion of The Toronto start has done a 180 degree flip to the up side...they reported the story just before the end of Question Period on Thursday...otherwise we probably would not have heard about it until today...and Kathleen Wynne is up in Sault Ste. Marie answering questions about it instead of being in the legislature.

@Adriane Taylor
No .. not surprisedStill looking for links to that conference, nothing on u-tube, this site, or PC party sites yet ( @ 3 pm ).Come on media, lets start a new concept, maybe we can call it"Democracy"

@Adriane Taylor
You are absolutely correct about their filling every agency with their cronies irrespective of their abilities. I've heard this from doctors who know individuals that used to head certain depts. and said it should have been obvious to anyone that person wasn't capable (I've left name out to avoid slander).

There are young people without any hospital or major corporate experience responsible for hospital amalgamations worth hundreds of millions, their only experience being head of some Liberal youth wing.

The stupid morons who keep voting in these Liberals don't realize or care that they're helping to destroy the province and drive up costs and taxes for everyone.

Unfortunately, the media in all stripes is very left leaning. This includes the so called right thinking talk show hosts.

They have succeeded in playing Hudak up in such a way that downplays him as any kind of leader and this is being sucked up by a lot of the voting public.

To keep saying they don't trust him is totally ridiculous as he so far has not been in power. This is like saying that I know the Liberal government has lied and stolen our dollars, which is fact, but we don't know about Hudak but will somehow believe he is worse without any proof at all.

@Scrappy
perhaps the voter is much more intelligent than what you give them credit for? they can see through someone before hand.the voter voted in a minority government and they expect ALL parties to work together not just the Libs and NDP. the voter sees that.Also your statement if you believe it you MUST include Ford voters also as being led astray and being uninformed

I can assure you that this one gas plant item is just the tip of the iceberg. The Ontario urban populations especially have been kept COMPLETELY IN THE DARK! Its more than just media collusion when it comes to the energy file. Just you wait.

@AB
I have been shaking my head for months wondering when the outrage will start...Ornge, e-health, Caladonia, gas plants, and just the fact that a so-called premier thinks she can side step a duly elected Mayor or stamp her feet at the Harper government without first seeking a mandate from The People. Now she's threatening to sue Her Majesty's Official Opposition...and admonish Albertans over the resignation of Redford by calling them gender biased...I am honestly starting to fear for her mental health. Seriously.

Hudak rolled the die ... and has very likely crapped out again.But, to prove he's as bad at craps as he is at politics, he's now doubled down.On behalf of 70% of Ontario voters, thank you, Tim, for sparing us from you as Premier.
